so today we accosted random strangers at raffles place and tiong bahru, saying "no we're not trying to sell you anything", "we're student researchers from NTU", "do you have children from the ages of 10-14 years old?" "we're conducting this discussion group", "you can get $30 capitaland vouchers and $20 transport fee after that" under the hot sun and in full view of everyone.
don't know how many times got rejected don't know how many times keep talking until throat dry but at the end of it all the sheer satisfaction of getting their names and numbers and interest and the doing it together as a group trumps it all. i just need to write this down so that months, even years later i can look back and remember the sweat and tears gone into that dreaded 3-letter word: FYP. it might be Final Year Project or For Your Pain (our pain, really....) but ultimately this is what we'll remember when we think back on our final year. damn tired towards the end of the day but we're not done. tomorrow going amk hub and wednesday still going to accost more people. let's hope we won't get aunties giving me fake numbers like today zzzzz.

a wild flower dies
where it blooms
so let me be
a wild flower
its death shall be
the fading of beauty
